The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse

I am in the dark, surrounded by sharks
But I’ll find my way, on this day
Due to a beacon of hope
The light is bright, and it just might
Empower me to cope
The lighthouse is my saviour
The sharks won’t be my demise
The light’s so bright, it makes me fight
To swim - to survive
It’s an aspiration, to get through these waves then
Find some land, this is my plan, then back to the water I’ll dive in
With this beacon of hope, the light will then fade
So I swim so fast, to the shore I’ll then wade
It’s a cycle of life - I’m still alive
The sharks are bees - they pester me
The sea is like their hive
If you close your eyes, you will find
You’re a meal for the for the sharks - when it’s dark
You will be bait, so, do not wait
Open them now, or it will be too late
The lighthouse is my passion
My passion, to go on
if you do not find the light in life
Your life, will not be long
The futures in sight, leave the past the behind
Make sure you follow the light

Last few words: 
All about optimism. and when you overcome hardships, life tends to put more in the way and you can keep overcoming them if only you are determined
